Make a plan!
There are two terms in Winter Session, with Session I beginning on Tuesday, Dec. 16 and Session II beginning on Tuesday, Jan. 6. Both are condensed terms and you don’t want to get a late start. Review the course syllabus as soon as it is available and plan for how you will successfully navigate the two- or five-week course. Pace yourself and don’t save everything for the last minute.
